About the workshop
This is a beginner’s course that will teach you what Shamanism is, and the basic skills of how to safely perform a shamanic healing on yourself and others.
As we encounter life’s journey, we all need access to help and support at different times in different ways. At Synergy Health Kendal, we aim to offer a range of different treatments that support on all levels - physical, mental, emotional and spiritual - for individuals to choose a path that suits their own health and wellbeing journey.
You will come away from this day having experienced doing your own healing session and how to connect with your power animal. You will also learn other effective ways of retrieving power which you can easily repeat at home.
These new skills can help you to transform your relationships with yourself, others and the natural world around you enabling you to move forward in your life with more authority.
This is largely an experiential workshop with some theory, some creative visualisation and more than one practical experience of doing your own shamanic journey.
Explore the power of the shamanic journey – the most ancient of spiritual healing practices which has survived throughout the world since hunter-gatherer times
Experience undertaking the shamanic journey for yourself.
Learn how to retrieve your personal power, restore the dynamic of power in relationship with others and how to thrive in your life.

From Liz, the workshop leader:
“One of the things I love about shamanic healing is its accessibility for all. Hardwired into all of us, this is how our ancestors healed themselves until relatively recently in human times - it is a skill you can easily wake up!
“You don't need to be special or particularly experienced to have thoroughly enriching experiences through shamanic journeying.
“Journey for Health is a one-day experiential workshop which will take place in the lovely healing space that is Synergy Health Clinic in Kendal town centre, situated right next to the river. You will learn:
The basic etiquette of navigating shamanic realities
How to create sacred space
How to set good ritual boundaries
How to engage in a shamanic journey
How to meet and work with your personal power animal”
“Additionally, we will take a look at the importance of reclaiming this way of relating to the natural world to benefit not only your own wellbeing but the complex sentient community of all of the non-human people's who also exist in this world we inhabit.
“You will leave this workshop with new skills you can put into practice from day one to support both your own and loved ones' well-being in every respect.”
What kind of things can be healed with shamanic healing?
The important thing is that you have a clear aim of what you want to achieve when you start the journey. You can ask for healing and insight into any life situation and see what your power animal or guides come up with.
From Liz, the workshop leader: “The most common thing I ask my guides to do for me is healing; sometimes that’s just a general and I see where they go with it and sometimes it is very specific. For example ‘Please help me heal my…..’ or ‘Please show me…….’ .”
Issues clients commonly bring to shamanism for healing:
A sense of never being well since …
Feelings of being lost in life
Hopelessness and despair, feeling completely disempowered
Healing for unhealthy family patterns, ancestral issues
Healing of previous abuse or trauma
Various physical health issues
A knowing they need soul retrieval
Healing after relationship breakdown
Release from unhealthy relationships
Something is missing from my life!
Healing for pets
Being stuck in unhealthy behaviour patterns
Healing of addictions
Anxiety or fear
Low self esteem
Poor boundaries
Unwanted psychic intrusions
How could I use shamanism usefully if I have little experience or skill?
The only skill you really need is to be able to trust yourself, and what you are experiencing in the journeys and to follow your guides.
Liz, the workshop leader says: “Once you have asked your guides for help, they always lead the journey. The most important guide you will ever have will be your power animal and you will connect with this incredible source of power and knowledge on this workshop. In time, you may meet other guides, should you continue to learn & develop your skills on this path. Some of the most powerful journeys I have had occurred in my early days of learning about shamanism. Your guides do all the work!”
Does Shamanism contradict my religious faith?
Shamanism is not a religion; it is a way of spiritual living in connection with the sacred essence of nature. It is no different than meditating, prayer, pilgrimage, vigils etc.. These sorts of religious practices connect the us to spirit but they don’t tell us what to believe. Shamanism is no different to this. Various cultures around the world have embraced shamanism alongside different religious beliefs.
Is doing a shamanic journey safe?
Shamanic realities are very safe - it is the middle world where we already are now that can be more challenging!
You will be taught how to create sacred space in which to journey, the importance of good boundaries with spirit and how to journey safely.
Your power animal, once connected will always look after you and keep you safe.
This one day workshop is for you if:
You are ready to learn a powerful form of self-healing
You want to connect more deeply with nature
You seek a deeper sense of connection in your life
You are ready to learn how to empower yourself
You seek a deeper sense of spiritual connection.
